Edgar was a fixture @RFKracing. He was a rare example of something we rarely see anymore in business or sports..Loyalty. Always enjoyed seeing him at the track and appreciated his kindness & friendship. Well done Edgar! Enjoy your retirement, you’ve earned it.
Today Jack Roush bid farewell to his FIRST ever employee. "Edgar is an example of the very best of our employees that have helped us have the success with wins and championships that we've had." - Jack A little about Edgar; Edgar was born in Puerto Rico, where he met Jack Roush

What you do when no one is watching defines who you truly are. His family raised him with good morals.

Absolutely Dave. I couldn’t be more proud. Her work ethic and passion for a sport I loved so much make me so very proud; and I love seeing how happy she is at the track.
I bet there’s a proud pop out there tonight watching his daughter, @its_jpunch, isn’t that right, @DocPunchESPN

I cannot remember what year we did our last one. We were scheduled to do several that final year but the checks didn’t come in the mail. Thankfully TBS, TNN & @espn stepped up so we could move on.
@DocPunchESPN @NASCAR What was the final race that y’all or other networks had to cover this way?

Well said @AD_DannyWhite! Couldn’t be happier for Tony; couldn’t be more appreciative for what he has done for @VolBaseball. Excited to see how coaches & players here show their respect by raising the bar even higher.

Ha! That was a “high tech” studio in Philadelphia. Eli and I did several of these; also did a few w Mike Joy. @NASCAR television has come long way since these post production cup race voice overs a week after the race. Fans had to wait a week or longer to see it. Not anymore🏁

Thank you so very much! It seems like yesterday that I stood beside Benny and Ned as we watched history unfold. We were so thrilled to call that finish but none of us had any idea how significant that win would be. Twenty five years later I still get goosebumps watching it 🏁
@DocPunchESPN Happy 25th Anniversary of your great call!

Remember it like it was yesterday. Literally in my parents living room standing up and yelling at the tv. What a call from @DocPunchESPN, Benny and Ned! #3forDale #NASCAR #MrRestrictorplate

Always enjoyed covering Bill, Billy and the entire family. You’ve won championships and have been a loyal part of @ARCA_Racing for decades; now it’s time to relax and enjoy your retirement. Thanks for the memories my friends! 🏁
The Venturinis posed for some photos and last at-track interviews as car owners following the ARCA West race last night. The team will be sold this week to Nitro Motorsports. Venturini Motorsports has fielded cars for 52 years.

Usually the following week, just a few days.. we would go to a studio in Philadelphia to do the broadcast.
@DocPunchESPN When you and Eli would do commentary for the SETN races, how long after the race was run did you do the commentary?

Thank you. Lots of prep and homework so we could share stories about as many drivers and teams as possible. We had a blast!! Thanks for the kind words.
@DocPunchESPN watching a NASCAR classic from 1987. I had forgot just how good you and Eli Gold were in the booth. Absolute spot on and making every lap insightful.

Totally agree! Smart, creative and pure class!! Happy Birthday Leonard.
👇🏻👊🏻Look up “Southern Gentleman” in the dictionary. I’m convinced you’ll see pictures of Glen and Leonard Wood. Happy birthday to the man many describe as “smartest man bumper to bumper to ever work on a race car”

"I was pulled over Wednesday morning by a TN State Trooper. When he came up to the car he asked 'Why are the two boys in the back seat not in car seats?' My answer was the two little boys were my foster sons who I had just got the night before. I showed him paper work and
